Anonymous (American, 19th C)
Portrait of John Peter Gabriel
Muhlenberg, circa 1800-1900
Oil on canvas
This beautiful portrait depicts John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg who lived
from 1746 to 1807. His illustrious career included serving as a
major general under George Washington in the Revolutionary War and
holding the position of United States Senator and Congressmen from
Pennsylvania. He was ordained as a Lutheran Minister in 1768. Shown
dressed in traditional military garb, the Portrait of John Peter Gabriel
Muhlenberg demonstrates the ability of American portrait painters to
realistically capture and convey the vision of such an important
historical figure with certainty.
